1·10 days agoI bought an old Lenovo hotel front desk computer I was going to turn into a router, but it didn’t have a pcie slot. So after I got the right computer and turning that into my router, I used that wrong computer as my nextcloud host (Debian, docker, AIO Nextcloud). It works well enough for people seeing my availability, family calendar, file server front end, and CardDAV. I don’t think it of be able to handle video/audio calls because of the hardware though.

2·11 days agoNextcloud does almost everything you want. Be aware though that is is pretty dang fragile. You can export calendars and have both public and private web access for calendars.

2·22 days agoQualcomm I doubt will be any better, which means if AMD or Intel don’t step up in the ARM space, then the best bet is nVidia and their 95% GPU market share.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My fellow 'Muricans, do you prefer metric or standard measurements?
2·26 days agoI mean, base 2 is superior imho.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My fellow 'Muricans, do you prefer metric or standard measurements?
33·27 days agoThe whole point is that it is ironically base 10. I thought that was the goal?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•My fellow 'Muricans, do you prefer metric or standard measurements?
74·27 days agoMurican’ here. The only place I prefer Fahrenheit is in weather mainly for how ironically base 10 it scales for human related comfortability for outdoor activity.
100°+ dangerous heat
90s very hot, drink lots of water
80s shorts weather
70s comfortable
60s long sleeves
50s jacket weather
40s bring a coat
30s coat and hat (water freezing is here at 32°)
20s layers
10s insulated layers
0s very cold, protect exposed skin
-0s dangerous cold
Everywhere else I’m fine for C°

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is checking age at os-level that bad?
11·1 month agoThe only misunderstanding is that it is only a metaphor and not actually biologically correct for frogs in the literal sense. It is absolutely applicable in human behavior, observable, and easily replicated. Is coffee or alcohol an actual acquired taste or is it people gradually adapting to change?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is checking age at os-level that bad?
101·1 month agoC’mon, don’t be that dense, it’s is a metaphor explaining that people are more likely to accept change if done gradually as opposed to all at once.
unless they were lobotomised.
Look around. Think of the average person, half of the people are below that person’s intelligence and a good number of them vote.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What's your self-hosting success of the week?English
2·1 month agoI have an instance running, but haven’t had a ton of time to dedicate on getting it the way I need it. I need a calendar that is accessible anonymously via the web for people to know my availability. File server, CalDAV, and CardDAV I was able to get separate solutions for.

4·1 month agoThe nextcloud AIO instance that hadn’t been working since September suddenly started working after I updated it. This was all after their forums did fuck all to help except tell me to get gud. I knew the problem wasn’t on me or my config and I feel so vindicated
I think most of it moved to the guncadindex instance
!general@forum.guncadindex.com
There’s also FOSSCAD.io instance and fosscad boards at .ml and .world

Technology@lemmy.world•Parents opt kids out of school laptops, ask for pen-and-paperEnglish
16·2 months agoyup, it’s the same playbook Apple had in the 80’s and 90’s. Get them into schools and get everyone used to their ecosystem so they would buy their products after graduating. Bill Gates did the same thing in the 90’s to outfit computer labs in schools with a bunch of Dell computers.
Here in the states we use short hand usually. So your date would just be stated as, “March 12th”. Long format would start off as, “in the year 2026 AD/CE…” which is usually done in things like proclamations by local governments for naming a specific day in someone’s honor.
For previous and current dates, people definitely use mmddyyyy and I don’t like it. I would much prefer to use something along the line of star-dates from star trek time expressed in years only: 2026.19178 (March 12 00:00). This fixes the need for leap years/days/seconds in calendars and instead dates become accurate.
Yeah, I seem to remember that architecture code is done little endian, and the network stack is big endian. Then there is bi-endian, which I have no clue how that works.


HOPEFULLY this is the beginning of the end for HDMI.
